Common Patterns in Bubble Tea

So you've started building your app, but now you're not sure if you're doing things the "right way".

Well thankfully, we have some common patterns that we see when building Bubble Tea applications that should help to simplify your decision-making.

I only want the model that triggered the message to update

To figure out whether a component should process the message or not, simply include an ID in the message. The ID will match the ID field of your child model and can be handled in that child model's Update.

We use this pattern in our spinner example

These spots in particular: https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/blob/master/spinner/spinner.go#L145-L149

		// If an ID is set, and the ID doesn't belong to this spinner, reject
		// the message.
		if msg.ID > 0 && msg.ID != m.id {
			return m, nil
		}

func (m Model) tick(id, tag int) tea.Cmd {
	return tea.Tick(m.Spinner.FPS, func(t time.Time) tea.Msg {
		return TickMsg{
			Time: t,
			ID:   id,
			tag:  tag,
		}
	})
}
